[And she's fine with that. He even admits it's not his best time in not so many words. Maybe he wouldn't want them to see him like that, take him as he is now instead. Either way wouldn't really matter to her, but that's not the important thing.
Fie finds herself chuckling a little. Admitting to the former and bringing up his reaction about their previous talk? Someone's on a roll tonight. Maybe more middle of the night heart to hearts are needed. Not that she's saying that part aloud. Someone might strongly object ahead of time. If it's going to happen, she'll just show up at his window. ... again.]
Freak out or not, it's fine. I'm not going to push you for anything unless I think I need to know. Or you're being dumb. [When he pushes her shoulder Fie moves with it, but doesn't fall back, grin turning into a sincere smile as she locks eyes with him. There's that earnest look once again, the one she gets when she's speaking from the heart.]
I like you, too, Shinjiro. [Ooh, she said his name. There's that pang of affection through the bond again.] I'm glad you came to me tonight to talk about things. I can't promise I'll be able to say anything to help, but I'll always listen.
[Fie waits to see his reaction, only returning to laying down when she's satisfied, this time just a little closer to him than before. It's getting colder, okay?]
